Beyond Grantmaking:
Engaging Citizens in Building a
Better Community

Originally presented January 26, 2011

Description: Community
foundations are increasingly involving residents from all walks in setting
direction for the community – through affiliate funds, visioning
processes, leadership development, advisory committees, advocacy and numerous
other avenues within their foundations and with partners.

Join this webinar to hear how two community foundations are leveraging
significant resources, building local leadership, crafting long-term
solutions and building community through citizen
engagement. Hear why colleagues are making citizen engagement
central to their foundations’ work. The presenters will discuss
what works and share fundamentals of citizen engagement that can be adapted
for use in other communities.
